My very most special Christmas was 1981 because, I, like Mary, was blessed with a beautiful, newborn baby to love. We named her Lindsay, and her middle name means Christmas--Noelle. She was perfect in every way and so tiny and beautiful against the harsh Idaho winter she was born into. She completed our family and was the best Christmas present I ever received.
She has turned into one of my favorite people. She is clever and happy and funny and organized and grows stronger every year as she learns to be an exemplary mother and wife. She works hard at everything that she undertakes and is no stranger to adversity.I admire her strength and perseverance in all she accomplishes. She seems to love life and welcomes its challenges. She will always be my Christmas Baby and I love her even more, 27 Christmases later! Happy Birthday, Lindsay Lou.

I can't get that picture of you and lou to go any bigger but from the way she's standing, it could just as well be Kate as Lindsay!! I loved that Christmas baby, too....she was "mine" for sure! Funny to see that baby raising her own and doing such a great job! Love you, Lindsay-Lou!
I love the pictures! I can't wait for my babies to be moms someday. You must be so proud.
Whoa!! I haven't checked your blog in a while and just saw this AMAZING post! Thank you for all of your sweet comments and making my 27th birthday so special. It takes an amazing woman to raise 5 kids, and to have the last one especially turn out somewhat decent says a lot about the mother you are! Thanks for all you did to put up with me, and continue to do for me! I love you so much!!
